Each Special Interest Group is led by a Chair (and in some instances a Co-chair) whose task it is to stimulate scientific activities and promote ongoing education and professional development in their area of expertise.
Andrology SIG
The aim of the Andrology SIG is to promote the field of Andrology and disseminate the latest advances in this area to Canadian clinicians, scientists and allied professionals working in reproductive biology.
ART Lab SIG
The aim of the ART Lab SIG is to foster consistent improvement in assisted conception outcomes in Canada by promoting the ongoing education of all ART laboratory scientists, and by encouraging practical cooperation between ART Laboratories.
Counselling SIG
